No progress on Ukraine truce or peace talks

MOSCOW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday that no progress was reached on establishing a ceasefire or starting peace negotiations over Ukraine during crisis talks in Berlin with his counterpart from Kiev. “One place where we cannot report positive results is in, first and foremost, establishing a ceasefire and [starting]a political process,” Lavrov told a Berlin press conference that was carried live by Russian state television.
